Front Panel

10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Port

The 065-1167A Industrial Ethernet Extender has one

10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port. This port is an auto-sensing,

auto-MDIX 10/100 Mbps port.

When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the Industrial

Ethernet Extender:

 Determines whether the cable is a straight-through or

crossover cable.

 Automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 or 100

Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the

attached device.

After determining this information, the Industrial Ethernet

Extender configures the RJ-45 port automatically to enable

communications with the attached device, without requiring

user intervention.

Signamax Industrial Ethernet Extender

Ethernet Extender Port

The 065-1167A Industrial Ethernet Extender has one

Ethernet Extender port (RJ-11 connector or Terminal Block.

Insert the voice grade copper wire between one pair of

Ethernet Extenders via Ethernet Extender port (RJ-11

connector or Terminal Block). One device must be set to

LOC mode and the other to Auto mode when two devices

are connected.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Transmission

Modes

Symmetric Mode provides a balanced data rate for upstream

and downstream. This mode is suitable for network

extension.

Similar transmission rates for upstream and downstream.

In asymmetric mode, the downstream data rate is higher

than the upstream. This mode is suitable for applications

such as IP cameras.

Higher transmission rate from Local to Remote.

Bottom Panel (Not shown)

The 065-1167A bottom panel has a product label that

shows regulatory compliance, product serial number, and

other information.

Top Panel

There are five LEDs on the top casing, which indicate the

current transmission speed.

Installation

Before you install your Industrial Ethernet Extender, be sure

your operating environment meets the following operating

environment requirements.

Site Requirements

Parameter

Requirements

Desktop installations

DIN-Rail installations

Wall Mount installations

Provide a flat table or shelf surface.

Top hat type 35mm.

Stably mount on wall surface.

Access

Locate the Industrial Ethernet Extender in a position

that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 port and

Ethernet Extender port, view the front panel LEDs,

and access the rear-panel power connector.

Power source

Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of

the installation location. Power specifications for the

Industrial Ethernet Extender are shown in Appendix

A. Be sure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall

switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the

outlet and the Industrial Ethernet Extender.

Environmental

Temperature:

Install the Industrial Ethernet Extender in a dry area,

with ambient temperature between -10 and 60ºC (14

and 140ºF). Keep the Industrial Ethernet Extender

away from heat sources such as direct sunlight,

warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.

Operating humidity:

The installation location should have a maximum

relative humidity of 95%, non-condensing.

16

Signamax Industrial Ethernet Extender

Parameter

Requirements

Ventilation:

Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing the

rear and side panels of the Industrial Ethernet

Extender. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters)

free on all sides for cooling.

Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room where

you intend to install the Industrial Ethernet Extender.

Operating conditions:

Keep the Industrial Ethernet Extender at least 6 ft

(1.83 m) away from nearest source of

electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy

machine.

Stacking

If you intend to stack two or more Industrial Ethernet

Extenders, be sure:

 The mounting surface can safely support the

stack.

 There is adequate space around the stack for

ventilation and cooling.

Installing the Industrial Ethernet Extender

You can install your Industrial Ethernet Extender on a flat

surface, DIN-Rail, or wall with other equipment.

 If installing the Industrial Ethernet Extender on a

desktop, shelf, DIN-Rail, or wall, allow sufficient

ventilation space between the device and the objects

around it.

 065-1167A Industrial Ethernet Extender Dimensions:

80.3 x 109.2 x 23.8mm (W x D x H) (3.16 x 4.3 x 0.94”)

17

Signamax Industrial Ethernet Extender

Connecting to the 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Port

The front panel has one 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port. To

prevent ESD damage, follow normal board and component

handling procedures.

To connect devices to the 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 port:

1. Insert one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable

into a Ethernet port.

2. Insert the other cable end into the Ethernet port of a

computer, printer, network storage, or other network

device.

Connecting to Ethernet Extender Port

The front panel of the Industrial Ethernet Extender provides

one RJ-11 connector or Terminal Block (see “Ethernet

Extender Port” on page 11). To prevent ESD damage,

follow normal board and component handling procedures.

To connect the Industrial Ethernet Extender’s Ethernet

Extender port:

Insert the voice grade copper wire between one pair of

Ethernet Extenders via Ethernet Extender port (RJ-11

connector or Terminal Block). One device must be set to

LOC mode and the other to Auto mode when two devices

are connected.
